The Devil Rays went down to Houston
They were looking for a game to steal
They were in a bind, because the series was tied and they were willing to make a deal
When they came across this young arm throwing fire and spinning it hot
The Rays jumped up on a hickory bat and said “Boy let me tell you what”
“I bet you didn’t know it, but we are ball players too...
And if you care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you
Now you throw pretty hard Boy, but give the Rays their due
I bet a trophy of gold, against your soul, cuz I think I’m better than you”

The boy said “my names Garrett, and it might be a sin
But I’ll take your bet, you’re gonna regret
Because I’m the best that’s ever been
Gerrit rosin up your hands and throw that fastball hard.
Cause hells broke loose in Texas and the rays have got heart.
And if you win you get this shiny trophy made of gold,
but If you lose the rays beat you Coleeee. (Credit: @jthecoolcat)
The Rays opened up the first and said “we’ll start this show”
And ice fell over their bats as they stood to face Cole
Cole pulled the string on his knuckle curve and they made an evil whiff
And one by one they were up and down because they couldn’t get a hit
When the Devil Rays finished they said “you’re pretty good ole Son,
We’ll just sit right here on this bench while you show us how it’s done”

Sit’em down One by one
Coles in the house, he’s the Chosen One
Rays are swinging but their bats are slow
Can you win game 5? No child No
The Rays bowed their heads because they knew they had been beat
And they laid that golden trophy on the ground at Gerrit’s feet
Gerrit said “Devil Rays, just come on back if you ever want to try again.
I’ve done showed you twice, you son of a bitch
I’m the best that’s ever been
He just sat’em down One by one
Coles in the house, he’s the Chosen One
Rays are swinging but their bats are slow
Can you win game 5? No child No
Thanks for the love. I felt I had to finish the song. Thanks to @karbachbrewing #crawfordbock for the liquid courage, @jthecoolcat for the addition. Sorry I misspelled Gerrit the first time. @GerritCole45 #TakeItBack
